No Limits: The Art and Science of High Performance

by Mukesh Bansal

The mind is the most powerful element in our body’s arsenal and we can use it to shape and guide our journey towards high performance. With the right mindset and adequate reserves of willpower, there is no limit to what any of us can do. The old saying, ‘If there is a will, there’s a way’ gets it right. Our mind is the most important part of the machinery used to devise plans and put in the effort to accomplish our goals. By carefully nurturing the right mindset, we will be able to put our best foot forward, treat each setback as a learning opportunity and continue to grow every single day. Most highly successful people say that it took them ten to fifteen years to become an ‘overnight success’. The right mindset will ensure that you grow every day and inch closer to being that overnight success as you master your field and begin to operate at your peak performance. Mastering anything requires learning the finer aspects of your craft—from little tricks of the trade to deep principles, from the history of the field to its science. This process needs to be coupled with periods of trial and error, and learning from the masters of your chosen field.
